This afternoon consisted of x-ray of chest, ct scans showed that the swelling had gone down :) super!! Physical therapist and speech therapist will be working with her for the next 7-10 days. She's staying positive and trying to eat on her own...dad's been great with her because she gets so frustrated at times, but he is very gentle and loving and helps to try to explain what she's trying to say to the nurses, etc....He's been going to the hotel to shower and rest during his 6-8 p.m. break. We brought pictures, cards, and a few decorative things people have given her like crosses, etc....to decorate her room with. I know those mean a lot to her and make her feel more comfortable and "at home".
Some have asked how to send cards. I found this address from MD Anderson's website. Please only mail her letters/cards, no phone calls right now please. Thanks for understanding! :) See you soon and continue to comment and send me things I can post (like http:// links for inspirational movies or pictures....) love you all! --The Forrester's
